Dear Steve, please find the reply to your request for information:

 

 

Job Title of the temp role:

            Please see attached

 

The name of the agency providing the temp resource:

            Please see attached

 

The start date that the resource came onto site:

 

            Please see attached

 

The Daily Rate that the council pays the Agency providing the temp
resource:

 

We consider the actual rates charged by each agency to be commercially
sensitive and that releasing the rates into the public domain would be
both against the commercial interests of the agencies who have been
through the procurement process and also potentially to the commercial
detriment of the council itself. The actual pricing structure of our
agency frameworks could, for example, be used by a non- framework agency
to establish their own pricing structure but without offering the full
assurance of the compliance and other requirements demanded by the
frameworks. As such we claim exemption under section 43 of the Freedom of
information Act.

 

The amount of times the temp resource has had their contracts renewed:

As the contracts are temporary, the contracts are regularly reviewed on a
case by case basis depending on the service needs and requirements. 
Therefore, as all contracts are rolling, renewal of contracts is not
relevant on this occasion, as contracts can also be ended at short notice,
again, depending on Service needs and requirements.  

 

If the temp resource and any permanent member Councils IT staff have
worked together in past employment, the names and dates of the employer
where they worked together and the dates in question:

 

This information is not held by the council
